-  * copy unzipped folder into folder: ‘Apache\<document-root>’.
+  * unzip the folder and rename it to your needs
-The document-root directory of Apache by default is “Apache\htdocs” folder. It is defined in file “Apache\conf\httpd.conf”. E.g.: DocumentRoot "${SRVROOT}/htdocs"
-  * rename the folder to your needs

- Recommendation: remove detailed version information from the folder name.
+**Recommendation**
-  * navigate to ''app\conf'' folder and rename file **''connections_demo.php''** to **''connections.php''**.

+  * copy unzipped folder into folder: **''Apache\<document-root>''**. Further details can be found [[niota_install_apache|here]]
-Check in connections.php if the MySQL server port for N-MDDB is set correctly and matches with the port configured in my.ini
+**Do not overwrite an existing N-PAPP. In case you install a new release, name the new release differently than the old release or rename the old release.***
-If you have already a valid and well configured connections.php file from a previous release copy this file to this folder.
+  * navigate to **''app\conf''** folder and rename file **''_shipped_connections.php''** to **''connections.php''** or copy **''_shipped_connection.php''** to **''connections.php''**
+  * rename file **''_shipped_hosts.php''** to **''hosts.php''** or copy **''_shipped_hosts.php''** to **''hosts.php''**
+**There will not be a **''connections.php''** or **''hosts.php''** in any install, as it would overwrite your local config.**
+**In case you upgrade from an older release to a new release you can copy the files from the old release. Please check the release notes if the structure of the configuration has changed for these to files**
+By using the ''_shipped*'' files as your current files you set the pre-configured demo connections as the active niota connections for the **''system''** client.
+Check in **''connections.php''** if the MySQL server port for N-MDDB is set correctly and if it matches with the port configured in MySQL **''my.ini''** config file.
+If you have already a valid and well configured **''connections.php''** file from a previous release, copy this file to this folder.
   * check if Apache and PHP are up and running
   * open a browser window and enter the login – URL
-   “http://<my_host>/<my_niota_path>/app/login.php”.
-If your N-MDDB is not up and running you cannot log in yet. Without N-MDDB you can check only the load of the login screen.
-  * ask your contact at about actual credentials to login, in case of a new install.

+We strongly recommend to use your own client configuration and not to use the system client.
